Letters to the editor — Oct. 23

We are at war. An army of five to ten thousand people from Mexico and Central America are attempting to invade our southern border.

I know our President will protect us from this attack if he is given the support he needs to do so. The first duty of a President is to protect the citizens of this nation.

We must all vote in the coming election to give President Trump the support he needs to do his job. If we should lose the House of Representatives and/or the Senate, I ask that each of you look at the people who will be chairing the committees. Nothing will get done as they are saying they will spend the majority of their time attempting to impeach him rather than continuing to rebuild our once great nation.

It is time for the Democrats to stop the petty politics and mobs and help to take what action is necessary to protect us.

I repeat, we have five to ten thousand invaders approaching our border.

HELP!

VOTE!

History will say

To the editor:

George Santayana said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” And a variation of this is, “Those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it.” In Susan Estrich’s article,” No one’s perfect, not even Senator Warren” she failed to bring up the sordid past history of the Liberal Democrats. As she pointed out, all Hillary had to say was my husband is an abuser of women and a rapist and let it go. No she chose to defend her husband one more time by saying the young girl was an adult and therefore no harm, no foul. All Senator Warren had to say was that I thought I was a Native American but I’m not. No she chose to live by her lie. Let me digress for a minute. My dad’s farm was on the Lakota Sioux Wahpeton reservation. I went to school with Native Americans. I went to their powwows. I go to Mass on Sunday with a Native American from my hometown that is on the Sioux Wahpeton reservation. Does that make me an Indian? Perhaps I need to have a DNA test just to see if I have a drop of Native American blood in me….and then I can teach at Harvard.

But back to Susan’s article. I started by quoting George Santayana and spoke about Hillary and Senator Warren. Who might be their number one whipping boy as it is for most liberal Democrats? Perhaps President Richard Nixon. Had President Nixon said some over zealous investigators broke into a Democratic office and I addressed it, it would have gone away. Instead he lied and started down the slippery slope to resignation. Why didn’t Hillary and Senator Warren, who probably couldn’t say a kind thing about President Nixon, learn from him and tell the truth (history repeating itself.). Instead they chose to lie and now they’re reaping the benefits. In the Kavanaugh hearings the Democratic senator from Connecticut asked Judge Kavanaugh to translate the Latin legal term,” falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus”. Translated it means,” false in one thing (to lie), false in everything”. Can we take the “good” democratic senator’s words and apply them to Hillary and Sen. Warren?…history will say.

Khashoggi, Trotsky murders similar

To the editor:

While the circumstances of the Khashoggi and Trotsky murders are not identical, they are significantly similar. Therefore, it is likely that President Trump will react in the same way that President Roosevelt did: send the Saudis whatever they need if it is in our interest.

Let Russia investigation conclude on its own

To the editor:

In just two years, we’ve seen an economic turnaround. The Trump Administration has cut taxes, the regulatory state has been slowed down and unemployment stands at 3.9%. As a Republican who supports President Trump, I’m happy with his progress on economic issues we should continue growing the economy.

The investigation into whether Russia interfered in our elections will conclude in due time, but the President and his supporters must be patient. Indeed, 25 Russians have already been indicated, and we’re getting closer by the day to discovering how Russia interfered in our elections. Let the investigation to conclude on its own and we can stop hostile powers from interfering in our country’s elections in the future.
